This probably isn't fixable. managedsoftwareupdate is being run as a launchd 
agent that runs in the loginwindow context; in other words, the 
managedsoftwareupdate job is loaded (and possibly run) when the loginwindow is 
started.  If the Keyboard Assistant is running, I'm guessing the loginwindow is 
not running (not even "behind" the Keyboard Assistant) and therefore 
managedsoftwareupdate _cannot_ run.

I logged in via ssh and noted that it was indeed running in the background. I 
only noticed because I tried running managedsoftwareupdate --auto via ARD on it 
and it returned an error saying it was already running.

I just tried a variation on this, and loginwindow is definitely running, but 
the attempt to launch MSU.app is failing with a kLSUnknownErr (-10810) which 
makes it feel like the OS is causing the attempted launch to fail...

I don't doubt the OS is causing the issue.  I noticed it today and had never 
even thought of using a non-apple keyboard.  If it is something that cannot be 
fixed via munki, it is no biggy, I just thought it was a rather interesting 
occurance.  In all honestly, anyone who is using OS X with non-Apple keyboards 
should have the prefs that the wizard creates already present on the 
image/machine build to prevent that popup from occuring.  Having that wizard 
pop up in the first place would be rather messy on a standard image.
